We'll review the current practices for some of the common steps in scRNA-seq data analysis in the Sessions 1-2. We'll discuss different practices for each step and the assumptions underlying various tools and their limitations. This document provides an exposure to one of the popular tools for such analysis. As we'll discuss, the right choice of method in any application depends on a number of factors, including the biological systems under study and the characteristics of the data in hand. For the purpose of our workshop, we'll limit the hands-on component to the Seurat package in R. In general, analysis might require multiple tools in different languages and/or novel development. For more, please see the slide deck in materials.
The following is based on this vignette from the Seurat developers.
